'Blossom' alum Jenna von Oy pens parenting book 'Situation Momedy'

CHICAGO, March 31 (UPI) -- Actress Jenna von Oy's parenting book Situation Momedy: A First-Time Mom's Guide to Laughing Your Way Through Pregnancy & Year One will be published in November.

Von Oy is best known for her roles as Six on Blossom and Stevie on The Parkers.

"I am thrilled to have an opportunity to share Situation Momedy with my mommy peers. As the cliche goes, laughter is the best medicine," von Oy said in a statement Tuesday. "But that's not a dosage most doctors can prescribe! I'm not the first woman to have kids, and there will certainly be countless mothers after me, so my book isn't an attempt to reinvent the wheel or deliver a 'how-to' on all things mommy-related... I'm still a work in progress too! I think honesty and vulnerability can go a long way toward helping other moms feel less alone in the chaos of the mommy learning curve. In releasing Situation Momedy, I hope to inspire women to embrace the tough times with extra love and laughter, and to be empowered to trust their own instincts!"
